What Buddhists Believe answers many questions which are asked about Buddhism by Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. There are so many misconceptions regarding superstitions and misinterpretations which are associated with this noble religion that it has become
imperative to explain the Teachings in a manner which has contemporary relevance.
Venerable Dr K Sri Dhammananda's What Buddhists Believe is already a classic in that it has proved to be extremely popular not only with practising Buddhists who are born into the religion, but also those who are really interested in knowing what the Buddha taught. Its popularity can be attested to by the fact that it has run into four editions and it has been translated into Spanish, Dutch, Singhalese, Nepali, Parshi, Burmese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indonesian. This revised and enlarged volume covers almost every aspect of Buddhism, and is written in clear and precise language which will appeal not only to the casual reader but also to the intellectual student of the Dhamma. Directed mainly to an average person, this book adopts a non-textual approach to explain the Buddhist viewpoint on a wide range of doctrinal and contemporary topics, including those not normally touched upon by traditional Buddhist writers.
